So is this low key a Shell advertisement?
yes
Definitely. Not 100% sure I can trust this one
The us gov regulates additives to reduce gunk and varnish, in even the cheapest gases imported, this whole video is shell propoganda.
low key? imo it was pretty blatant
Well, they did visit the Shell Marketing Wank Center.
I put half a tank of V-power and half tank of Techron to get instant VTEC GAS the science checks out..
How many hrspers did that add?
Lmao the best comment hands down. 😂😂😂😂
Works even better with diesel
best comment lmao
Lmao
Well Shell advertisement or not, you learned about gunk, sticky valves, role of oil in piston, pinging, and octane rating. So it was still educational with a brand used as example
Right and it's not like Shell needs the exposure... Seriously people, just enjoy the lessons.
You ass kisser ask donut for a cut of the pie too idiot. And donut likes he's comment 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I’m surprised there aren’t more videos on actual independent testing of the amounts additives/detergents on different gas station brands. From my understanding, most local gas stations will typically use the same gas as each other but have different additive packages that are required.
This video is 9 years old and is most likely outdated but it does show Shell premium as having the most detergents: th-cam.com/video/ystuUJWae0Y/w-d-xo.html
This was my feeling. I’m still gonna buy gas at Costco but at least I learned a lot about the effects of bad gas
I miss Bart. Really happy for all the new avenues y’all have been taking, the shows are solid and new guys work really well, but this guy made some gold in earlier videos. Hope he’s doing well.
My adblock let me down on this 10 minute ad.
@@burntchickennugget191 what happens???
It's 9:40 tho
lmao
But Shell has the best gas, just like the iPhone has the best wifis
@@GETUPANDGO iPhone sucks
I never even made it to the video. There was this long ass Shell advertisement that I couldn’t even skip.
MikeyT versus shell premium is on of the best fuels if you didn’t know a lot of gas stations get their fuel from shell so why wouldn’t their premium fuel be the best lol.
im wondering if the ad you’re talking about is the video itself
Lolz! So true.
Fuck off ignorant degenerate
Definite Shell sponsored video here. While to a degree what they are saying is true, gasoline will clean on your valves; however with most modern performance vehicles using direct injection this is an absolutely MOOT point. No gasoline ever passes over the intake valves with direct injection therefor it is impossible to clean up any build up on them with any grade of fuel or even fuel additive. The crap that builds up on the backside of intake valves in a direct injection comes from a failing or poorly designed PCV system. It isn't varnished fuel it's oil particulate that passes through the PCV system and slowly builds up on the back of the valves. You would benefit a lot more from a catch can on such a system rather than spending more for a fuel grade you may not require. All gas suppliers have a gas similar to what Shell is hocking here, Chevron does Techron, PetroCanada does SuperClean...you get the point. Run the specified Octane rating for your call and it will be happy, car manufacturers aren't idiots when it comes to engineering. That being said never run a lower then recommended Octane rating or you will have a REAL bad day.
was waiting for someone to make this point. Very well said!!!!
Worked at a shell station a few years back, trust me its the same gas, shell doesnt deliver shell gas to shell stations, it comes from a local fuel dispatcher, the same local fuel dispatcher that delivers to most of the other gas stations in the area. Ours was Torissie, in the two years i worked there i never once saw a shell truck roll up and deliver gas. The additives added to the fuel might be different from company to company, but the fuel is the same depending on region. Let me also say i never once saw anyone add any additives to the fuel, they may have had those additives added beforehand at the dispatcher, but ive seen that exact same truck at the local wawa down the street. Im more worried about water, dirt, and other contaminants falling into the tanks when being filled or level checked (which we did daily, even in rain or snow) weve had to have our tanks pumped more than a few times due to excess water being in the tanks. Shell is good fuel, but so are other brands. Just some fuel for thought, pardon the pun.
you also have wawa's in your area?
Usually the additives are added to the gas in the trailer tank as it's leaving the fuel dispatcher. Much like when a contractor doing a driveway will call in an order with a concrete company for a specific mix with specific hydration level with specific additives. But you are right. From the pipeline gasoline is gasoline.
Yea everyone already knew that, there’s only a few refineries for it to come from. But not all companies add the right detergents are abide by the top tier gas requirements
This video is just a Shell of your former videos. . .
............ I get it! :D
Yeah, I worry they're BURNING bridges with their fans on this one.
I wish you'd go to 🐚
This episode is brought to you by our sponsor Shell
Thanks for the description repetition...
I was thinking the same😂
But it still better Shell than Indonesia Pertamina or Indonesia AKR - England BP
Like 10 years ago Shell in Central America was found guilty of mixing gas with water so they can sell more and save gas too
Good morning American brought to you by Pfizer
BRING THIS SERIES BACK I don’t care if he talks about the universal joint for a whole episode or how the crumple zone works just something man
So use cheap gas 98% of the time and shell 2% and boom 130% of build up is gone
Honestly every once in a while quick accelerate can help your engine but having it flow more gas. If it's a brand with good detergents and lubricants it can slightly help with carbon build up.
But if you have a direct injection engine, carbon build up on the intake valve will still happen unfortunately.
Muzalli Sam furthermore by flooring it you're actually making it worse. It's easier to tell yourself you're driving like a maniac to remove carbon buildup though. Damn GDI engines... Should of bought a Toyota.
@@ElSikario100 a redline a day keeps the mechanic away.
There is actually a science to it, high revs break loose carbon deposits. And yes it can damage things, if it's a big enough chunk but it'll happen whether you do or don't anyway. So Italian tune ups for the win
Demonslayer20111 that's only true for port injected engines. On direct injection by revving high you'll be creating more deposits because there's virtually no way to for the engine to wash them away from the top of the valves. There's an excellent video explaining this. I'll attach the link later.
This is the first video by you guys that I'm not sure I can trust 100%.. :(
Yup, same here.
its clearly a product placement
Shell is the plug for gas companies everywhere lol you might not go to shell but your probably getting their gas lol.
It feels like a bull shit add because they never mention that the reason shell gas is a detergent gasoline. it is because it meets the top tier fuel standard. A fuel standard supported by a lot of auto manufacturers. I learned about the difference between cheap and top tier gasoline when i was trained by Honda at one of their corporate learning centers. Search up top tier detergent gasoline on google and it will give you a list of manufacturers that meet the detergent gas fuel standard.
@@Steven-rn1oo Costco! I love when people talk about how trash. costco gas is because it's cheap. it's a top tier gasoline. and usually 15-30c sometimes even more cheaper a gallon vs shell
I wish you had disclosed at the beginning of the video whether or not you accepted any money from Shell, if they paid for your travel/hotel/etc. Because you didn't talk about whether or not cheap gas is as good as expensive gas, so it's hard to really believe anything you said in this video. Which is sad, because I really like this series otherwise.
The video is pretty much a quick explanation with some examples of how
Every petroleum brand have different additive packages. You won't really know the differences unless you take your engine apart.
Pretty much this video just says that high octane rating pump gasoline may have better additives that that lower ones.
Well then... How about you start doing great videos about how stuff works and what happens in different situations. Spend your life doing all the research, writing the script, record the video, buy the props and edit the shit. Post it on the internet for everyone to watch and learn. Dedicate your life to it, you know? Wait here comes the best part. Accept no money for it.. Of course they got paid, stupid. Its how the world works. And the only way you would have any right to bitch about it, is to remove your self from any paid or unpaid service where there is any sort of advertising, otherwise your part of the problem
Who cares if it’s a sponsored video. It’s good content that’s the main thing
Idiot Savant Although I agree with you, your response could have been nicer. People need to stop depending on videos for accurate information; instead, reading and researching topics should be encouraged.
From what I've read and other youtubers have said, if it's a sponsored video it most be said within the first minute.
I've used Shell premium in every turbo or supercharged engine I've owned in the past twenty years and I've never had any issues with the fuel system or carbon build up ever. Too me, it's definitely worth the $4 extra each time I fill up. For my daily driver I use shell regular and never had any complaints as well. My least favorite gas has to be Speedway...that's just me though...

Is this just a Shell ad?
yup, bunch of bull shit, just watched 2minutes of it, that was enough for me.
yes
It's a Tide ad
What these guys missed is most if not all gas comes from the SAME oil refineries. Then the independent gasoline companies put additives unique to their brand. Shell and Chevron put a lot of extra additives to clean your motor and increase efficiency. I only run Shell, Chevron, or 76. It makes a difference, especially in performance and high compression motors.
I'm glad this isn't a biased review on which gas I should be putting in my engine. #costcogasforlife
It's a way of life #costcogasforlife
I used to deliver fuel, and costco has the highest standard for fuel they can except (its has the standard Chevron additives) and once they do except they add 5x more additives than recommended by the FDA. It's some of the best quality fuel around.
brenton freeman wow explain more
Costco Fuel for my Subaru
Compression ratios in cars make a video on that
How much it squeeze. Done
No, it’s better additives or stabilizers. Which is added after it’s taken out of the delivery pipe.
When I tell people that all of the gas come out of the same holding tanks and the additives are added as it's pumped into the tanker trucks they just don't believe me. Even video evidence won't convince some people.
Your everywhere dude
Everyone is always here you both like the show any ways here is a brain buster when you freeze 87 octane ice Chunks form if you poor out gas is it higher in octane?
Roberta Swenson I’m intrigued... is it? I would assume it is, but considering you’re asking, I wanna say no..
Sorry I am scumbaggin Wifi form my aunt my name is Tim I live in palmer Alaska and I have had it freeze all the time and use it seems to work fine and I run a small turbo on a 4 banger that spark knocks with ok gas lol but I am wondering chemicly what happens water comes out your exhaust for a reason but if ALL water is out what remains and what effects good and bad it has on specific motors N/A, Super, or turbocharged,
Shell is by far the best gas ever. It’s always cheaper then all the gas stations around... and I always get 50 miles more to the tank EVERY time I fill up with shell compared to any other brand. Not a joke people, it’s the best gas there is
That info that you just pasted on to me....is what i needed to know about the gas i choose for my V6 engine as well as my 2 V8s that i really take pride in keeping to run and operate in the best condition i can......That was great teaching there...THANX.
Thanks for the 10 min ad
they made money on a 10min advertisement....
rollbar?
chassis material?
square vs overstroke vs overbore?
just some ideas for the next episode
Love the show, keep it up. Wish this information was obtained from an unbiased source. As a fuel company, Shell has a monetary reason to SAY more expensive gas is better, but “fuel scientists” paid by a company are biased- literally paid to say that.
I've always used Shell in a used Corvette I got. It had a big problem with pinging even using premium. It took a very long time and a lot of Italian tune ups, but it doesn't ping anymore! It also helped I did an ecu reflash. It dramatically reduced it.
Nice try, Shell...
If it was actually sponsored by shell? TH-cam policy explicitly states they must show/mention it within the first minute of the vid.
So no, not sponsored.
@@APEX_FUEGO oh ya because everyone on TH-cam ALWAYS follows the T.O.S.
@@APEX_FUEGO That's only true if he was directly paid by Shell. What he got in this case was access to Shell and their employees in exchange for getting good content. This video would not have been a thing had Shell not said "okay yeah come through with your cameras and interview why our gas is better than other folks." That's why you don't see a comparison between Shell and BP or Exxon or any of the other major players.
@@chasemc69
They're supposed to. They're pretty strict about it. Otherwise it's taken down or demonetized.
@@APEX_FUEGO @Tuner Things People need to read the description on videos. Copy and pasted right from the description: "Thanks to Shell for sponsoring this video, and for a behind the scenes look at their Technology Center in Houston!" So yea, it was a 10 min shell ad.
Do a video on fuel additives such as sea foam ect.
Austin Miller i use it if i suspect i got bad gas or suggest it in rvs that haven't ran in awhile, it might work
See chrisfix channel
i just want you to know that your profile picture pisses me off
Don't bother buying sea foam. Just poor water into your engine, it'll work the same.
Check the out Project Farm on youtube, he tests all that kind of stuff

Much love Science Garage.
I trust Chevron and 76 in the USA. When I lived in Japan all my buddies used Shell. So, I would say that's good fuel as well.
What a cute shell commercial
lol! agreed.
shell 91 is really good all jokes aside, always run it on my 11 A4 2.0T runs like butter, when I switch it up with another brand you can feel the difference in the idle and smoothness
In the US that is unlikely.The minimum standards for additives in fuel is pretty good .Your A4 has Direct Injection. Fuel is not sprayed on the intake valves to do any type of cleaning. I have run every type of gas and my cars runs the same on any other them whether Shell, Mobile, Chevron or Costco. If you can tell running issue from brands Im guessing you have other issue. Modern computer controlled vehicles are designed to run good on any gas meeting the octane requirement.
@@chrisjones7281 live in Canada, I don't know about the StAtes but i do feel a slight difference in smoothness when you put 91 shell. Thats just me
He seems like he doesn't want to do these videos anymore
Maybe. But it’s mostly of ppl complaining that he was “yelling too much.”
So he toned it down. Which sucks, cuz it takes away the life of the vid.
I was honestly thinking the same thing like where is the energy where is the enthusiasm where is the whole island bamb boom bang Bart that I remember lol
I’m thinking because this was likely a paid promotion by shell, they wanted him to talk more clearly.
And now he’s gone

You need to be more transparent when you do videos with companies outside TH-cam, especially when it's with something like a multinational oil company. Love this channel and all your other vids but this left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I guess I should have used Shell VPower premium fuel.
It's in the bio
Love the channel!
Can you make a video on most fuel efficient modern engines for restomods/engine swaps?
People saying this is just a Shell ad. Well, has any other fuel brand given you as much info as this? Best ad ever.
Very cool. Rad that you went to Shell’s lab and saw all the equipment and such. To hell with all these guys whining about an “ad” in their free content.
Did he say crank an engine a 100,000 times a year that's almost 274 cranks per day. @8:26
Delivery vehicles
Another way to look at it would be to crank your vehicle every 5.25 minutes every day, 365 days per year. I'm not saying it's impossible, just improbable.
i understood 100,000 pounds
I deliver pizzas and I leave my car running while giving the pizza to the customer so I only crank it once when I get in and that's it.. So if I deliver 20 pizzas. That's 20 cranks

I bought my first new car in 2016 a Toyota Corolla. The dealer told me to use a good quality gas. Not from a cheap station. I chose to buy Shell gas. My Toyota only needs regular 87 gas. No problems so far. I am going to stick with shell. It's really doesn't cost more than the cheap places and i can be confident that i am treating my car good. Before anyone asks. No I don't work for Shell, i am just happy with there gas!

My girlfriends gaslighting technique isn’t cheap, even though she is.
Get out of here. You're delusional
The truth is that gas in the states has so many additives that even the cheap fuel works pretty good at removing gunk. It also depends on what type of engine you have as well since some engines squirt fuel on the valves, which in turn reduces the gunk on the valves since it's cleaning them. And you shouldn't run premium fuel on a car that is not tuned to run on premium. You'd just be wasting money 😉

Walmart gas isn't top tier gasoline, so there is 100% a difference between Shell gas and Walmart gas (with Shell gas being better). Whether or not there is a difference between shell regular and shell v-power in terms of carbon buildup isn't really possible to tell since the only source I've ever seen for it is Shell and people paid to shill for Shell.
The vid starts after the Shell ad guys at 9:40. You’re welcome.
I would be very interested to see what you guys have to say about "warming up" your engine in the mornings. I was taught to leave it running at least until the temperature gauge comes up a tad. i have seen the inside of motors that were abused. All to often I talk to people about this, they miss the differences in conventional oil's vs synthetic, engine mileage, oil change frequency and of course fuel. it would be interesting to see what you have to say about the various effects of these conditions. Ive never seen an educated individual do a full rundown. if anybody, id bet you can pull it off, and hit all the points. Thanks for this show, i really dig the info you guys put out.
I don't know about Shell gas, but Premium gas is definitely better for your vehicle versus regular. Originally when I was putting regular gas, my vehicles began to feel sluggish and underpowered. After switching to Premium fuel, the sluggishness disappeared and the performance peaked (the SUV drove like new). In my case, premium gas made a world of difference.
There's a few reasons that could be, spark plugs not being OEM, a lot of carbon build up creating higher compression, variable valve timing, etc.
Without knowing what vehicle it is, I'll just assume your SUV had VVT capability. If not, something was fucked up to some degree.
I was spending 45 to 50 per pump in my camaro ss not realizing that I could use 87. I've been saving up to 12 dollars each pump since. To put that into perspective I pump every 4 to 5 days.
sticky valves open when they should the sticky causes them to not close.
Well done mate. My comment exactly. You are an observant individual and know your stuff.
can you do more of this science garage as i find it incredibly interesting and cool to learn theres plenty of facts to talk about
My aunt and uncle are the original owners of a 97 Toyota 4 runner. They put nothing but Racetrac and 711 gas for 21 years (87 octane). Has never broken down. I'm sure shell v power works but I don't need to keep a car more than 20 years anyways.
I've always used Shell. Makes my car feel happy.
Direct injection problems though.
Pff easy problem to solve, delete the stupid egr crap and redirect crank case vapors to a catch can. Your engine will thank you and live a hell of a lot longer ( as long as you change the oil) and run better
Great delivery sir.
Even though those demonstrations were scientific theater I still appreciate the information shared. I use Shell and Chevron and typically buy mid grade gas. I buy Chevron because they have good environmental practices for a gas company.... See Jared Diamond's testimonial in his book Collapse.... Shell because they're customer service is the best around. Now I know of their own testing so that's reassuring, too.
Thanks, Donut 🍩
I get the backlash from fans, but let’s be real y’all want cars that require Shell V-Power.
yall realize they dont have time to go talk to every single gasoline manufacturer right?
This.
If you want to know if a restaurant is good do you go ask the chef?
What they should have done is gone to a good mechanic, tuner, car manufacturer or anyone who takes apart a lot of engines and asked them whether these fuels and additives make any difference.
Great shell ad that I can't skip
My engine always runs good on Shell. Others I've had issues such as water in the fuel after it rains. And it leads to fuel pump failure.
Never clicked on a notification faster than seeing a Donut Media ScienceGarage.
The best gas is definitely not the type you get after a long night of drinking and Taco Bell

Shell gas is the best. I ran 91 couple time in winter to clean.
In my city all companies come in on the same pipeline.. the only difference is pour in additives at each individual gas stop.. as many of the trucks delivering deliver at different brand stations all in same route
Go cheap om gas and rebuild your engine for that money youve saved. Lol
What's the best gas in your opinion?
"Thank to Shell for sponsoring this video."
Forgot to mention that huh?
Great Shell ad!
I put Shell's 92 octane V-Power in my 2018 6-Speed Manual Honda Civic LX Sedan since the car's first fill up around September of this year. It has the K20C2, a NA 4 cylinder engine that let's be honest. In comparison to Honda's L15B7, the K20C2 is weak but it still makes me smile. Think of it as "The Llittle Engine That Could". I drive up steep hills 5 to 6 days a week while being at 2k to 3K RPMs. While the air conditioner is on, if ever. Nearing 6000 miles on the odometer and I did do the engine break in procedure. I drive my car gently right away the moment I turn it on. After 20 minutes into my conservative drive, the engine oil is at operating temperature. When I am done driving I idle the engine with everything turned off except for the low speed fan, that has the air conditioner off. After 2 to 3 minutes, I shut off the fan before shutting off the engine.
I have no problems but no doubt you'll be thinking "Your engine is new! Just you wait and see when the engine has more miles on it!"
*Shrugs* I take care of my car and don't granny drive it or race it to death. Let me put it to you this way. 2K to 3K RPMs on the highway in sixth gear and 80 mph is at 3K RPMs with a light throttle driving the car. I never had to down shift except if I know the engine is going to lug then I downshift into the appropriate gear before that occurs. I do use Honda's shift points as reference to know when I shift my car. Can't forget to add I don't floor it when I drive up the hill. I downshift and light throttle up the hill. I don't want to hear something knocking underneath my hood.
When will Bart be funny again..
Make Bart great again
I think he was on the fence about this one knowing we would all comment and say it was just an advertisement...

I reckon the original person who had to do it was sick they got a dudes mum in to replace !!
Hell yeah there’s better gas, don’t buy the cheap ethanol mixed stuff because the bad burn means uneven piston explosions
? Ethanol doesn't cause "bad burns" or misfires. Also ALL gas is required by law to have ethanol mixed in since 2007. Even the supposed ethanol free stuff has small amounts of ethanol.
Shell loves inviting youtubers and we love it too. But i suggest you guys to check out Project Farm s fuel test, that shows how things are actually are
I am convinced I have to use Shell V-Power Nitro+ Premium Gasoline now.
this is just an ad wtf
Direct injection got them clean valves. XD
Its actually the opposite but okay
Say what you want about this being a Shell advertisement but I only use Shell gas in my 2015 Tacoma since I first bought it new with 0 miles before I bought that I had 06 Chevy Colorado. I have used many gasolines but since I started using only Shell (87 regular if your wondering) even in my Colorado I have always got good gas miles. And never felt any loss of power. Any time I put low grade fuel (kroger gas, Wal-Mart, HEB, etc etc...) I could feel the truck not have the same get up and go and they would burn through it quick. In my Tacoma I get about 310 miles before I have to fill up (fill up is always at 1/4 tank mark) and in my Colorado when I had it I would get about 330. So yeah I have a firm strong belief in good gas equals good power mileage and long lasting engine.
With GDI, this doesn't apply on the intake side. I'm concerned about my 2016 CX5's valves now. Head of the Mazda service shop said I shouldn't worry but why not? Catch can? CRC for maintenance?
I feel bad for Bart in this video. He's still energetic and makes you want to know about the subject at hand, however, he knew there was bad intentions behind this sponsorship. Sure it may be a great financial incentive for Donut Media, but the gas propaganda is just shoved in your face instead of a purely education and learning video/moment like many other Science Garage episodes.
I watch this series to get to know my car better, but you're really making me want to get an EV more and more. I wouldn't have to deal with the engine gunk or all the other parts that aren't in an EV. I respect the Shell employees doing their job, however, this isn't the future. RIP to my interest in future Science Garage episodes... I'll have to give Donut my first dislike since I subbed and stick to Wheel House and Up to Speed :(
Oh but it is the future. Electric cars are the past, they failed a century ago.
From what I have learned over the years, avoid buying gasoline from a rinky dink station that is a lot cheaper than others, and run a seafoam clean through the vacuum line and fuel tank about once a year. Shell gas is really good, but it is usually about 20 cents more per gallon. If you want a clean engine, buy gas from a cheaper, yet reputable brand, and spend that saved money on a seafoam treatment.
Sea foam is a gimmick. A properly tuned engine doesn't need additives
@@falconater68 you can watch reviews of how well it cleans the engine. Now matter how well your car is tuned, you cannot escape the byproducts of combustion.
Costco gas?
Science Garage needs to come back. Please.
Love the sprint car in the background
Gas is gas, petrol is petrol
Wow! From the comments below, it seems like people are not liking this video. Maybe you guys need to visit Chevron, Mobile, 76, ARCO, etc to show that this is not just a Shell advert. Then again they would probably think you were doing an advert for each of those companies. Hmmmmm......what would be a great video is to pit the different companies against each other. The test would be to get a few barrels of gasoline from each of the companies. Do the equivalent of 100K miles of engine use using identical engines and the same oil. Run and maintain the engines the same way. Then see which gasoline company makes a "better" gasoline. Once you do that, you could pick one of the top companies and test between the different octane ratings to see if an engine that uses 87 runs "better" using 91. Unfortunately, I know from experience do not put 87 in an engine that requires 91..whooops.... And since, Pumphrey keeps claiming he makes a million dollars per episode in his Up To Speed videos; he should be able to fund this test easily. LOL
Good tech information 👍
My superbike won’t take anything but Shell 91 V-Power with Nitro+. Tried Chevron with Techron and Mobil 1 and my bike rides like shit. Went back to Nitro+ Shell and again, can’t keep it on the speed limit. Shit’s amazing. I put that in my cars too. Nothing else!
